I want you to think about three different times of your day and ask yourself one question. Is my breathing different at each point? Now, the three times of your day are the following: During the morning before lunch, when you are exercising and when you are going to sleep. What is your answer?

This article aims to explore the nuanced connection between illness and an elevated heart rate, shedding light on the physiological mechanisms and the broader implications for overall health.

Breathing, a fundamental aspect of our existence, goes beyond its automatic nature—it holds the key to managing pain and promoting overall well-being. When we see someone in distress, advising them to "breathe" is not just a cliché; it's rooted in the deep impact of conscious breathing on our health.

We all do two things every day - breathe and take a shower. While a warm shower is the usual go-to, what if we turned down the temperature and implemented a new cold shower and intentional breathing routine? That combo might be the secret antidote to reducing stress, that unwelcome companion in our modern lives affecting mental and physical well-being.

In our quest for holistic well-being, understanding the intricacies of our body's signals is paramount. One such hidden gem in the realm of health indicators is Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Often overlooked, HRV holds the key to unlocking insights into your overall health and, more importantly, offers a tangible pathway for improvement.

My first encounter with anxiety was nothing short of terrifying. In the midst of a routine supermarket trip, the world around me transformed. A sense of dread enveloped me, my heart raced uncontrollably, and a feeling of suffocation took hold. This moment marked the beginning of a long battle with anxiety, a journey through a landscape marked by fear and confusion, but also a path leading towards discovery and healing.

Imagine standing in a supermarket, surrounded by the routine buzz of shoppers, when suddenly, your world shifts. Lights become blindingly bright, your heart races like a trapped bird, and a sense of impending doom overwhelms you. This was my reality—a vivid introduction to anxiety that catapulted me into a relentless battle against an unseen storm. But this article isn't about the struggle; it's about overcoming, understanding, and guiding others through their tempests. 

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to overlook the simple yet profound tool we all possess for managing stress and anxiety: our breath. My journey through anxiety taught me the transformative power of deep breathing, a lesson I'm eager to share. Let's dive into the science behind deep breathing and how it can calm an anxious mind.

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of harming another; you end up getting burned.” – Buddhaghosa, an Indian Theravada Buddhist philosopher.

Breathing is something we all do naturally, without thinking, yet it has the power to influence our overall well-being. This has led to it being a major part of yogic practices emerging in India around 3000 B.C under the name pranayama.
